- Mr. H. R. Fairfax and family re¬ turned to their town hoase, Madison Ave., New York, on Monday.
Today and tomorrow are the last op-
?3rtunities for registration this year, fae Board is sitting in the engine room of the Fire Hall. On the fir«t two days they registered 240 for this our 2pth Election District Tbese were not all personal registrations. If they were tbe 20th would be a ban¬ ner district fur probably there are not more than 10 or 16 more voters to register. The Bosrd will not have a very strenuous time on the remaining days. Tbe personal registration feat¬ ure of the Levy Election law having been declared unconstitutional, some confusion has resulted as to what was required of voters in order to be able to cast tneir vote on Election Day.
Attorney' General Carmody holds tfaat boards of registration are requir¬ ed, on the first day of registration, to follow the law as it existed prior to the enactment of tbe Levy law. They are compelled to register not only those electors whose names appear on the poll book, but ail others known to them to be qualifled electors. The Attorney General points out the decis¬ ion of the Court of Appeals does not affect tbe provision of the new law, applicable to the xemaining days of registration, which provides tfaat on such days the board shall place on the register the names of all qualified elec¬ tors wfao may apply in person before the board.
A musical entertainment and dance will be given in the Fire Hall apon the evening of tbe 27th, Friday, at 8:80 under tbe aaspices of the Choral Soci¬ ety of tbe Cfaurcb of tfae Redeemer. The proceeds are for the work of tbis society. The affair is under the per¬ sonal direction of Mr. H. R. Zeiner and promise* a treat for the lover of a faigh class entertainment and a dance ander the best aaspicea.

R. Zeiner, A:ompaniit. Mrs. Michel, Misa Cone, and Mr. Meyers¬ burg have been heard at the cburch be¬ fore in solo work and have met with unqualified approval. Their appear- anee in concert here will be (he occas¬ ion for a large gathering. A musical evening is something that we have not enjoyed here for a long time.

Voting Against Dix
Unless thousands of eiticens who voted to put Dix into oflRce last Novem¬ ber would like the opportunity to vote him out of office, we are a poor judge of public opinion. Directly and per¬ sonally Dix will have to wait another year for bis turn. But indirectly the voters of New York can cast tbeir bal- lois against Dix next month by taking the Assembly away from the Demo¬ cratic party of New York. This would at the same time be the answer of the whole State to Boss Murphy's pretensions to power outside the limits of Tammany Hall. Contractor Charles H. Russell has

That night his son Ben advised him to put some salve on but he said he would wait until the morning, when he would pay a visit to the doctor. During the nigbt his groaning was too much for Ben, and he got up and tore a piece of hia handkerchief and spreading some salve on it went to his father's room, and wrapped the salve around hia father's toe. When Adam awoke he was surprised the pain had all gone, and bis toe was all healed. He says "Fleshmore Salve is wortb its weight and gold."

Unless thousands of eiticens who voted to put Dix into oflRce last Novem¬ ber would like the opportunity to vote him out of office, we are a poor judge of public opinion. Directly and per¬ sonally Dix will have to wait another year for bis turn. But indirectly the voters of New York can cast tbeir bal- lois against Dix next month by taking the Assembly away from the Demo¬ cratic party of New York. This would at the same time be the answer of the whole State to Boss Murphy's pretensions to power outside the limits of Tammany Hall. Contractor Charles H. Russell has

During the nigbt his groaning was too much for Ben, and he got up and tore a piece of hia handkerchief and spreading some salve on it went to his father's room, and wrapped the salve around hia father's toe. When Adam awoke he was surprised the pain had all gone, and bis toe was all healed. He says "Fleshmore Salve is wortb its weight and gold."
